    Most of the time, everyone uses their electric impact to tighten down the wheels. I keep my torque wrench with me. I think that's a whole lot better than being lazy and not doing it the opposite way. Sorry that had to happen

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    The tungsten based torque sticks do have flaws. First, don't drop them, or it's basicly ruined. Next off, they're not as efficient as using a "cruddy [torque] wrench". You basicly have to turn the gun down to the lowest setting to get it somewhere near the torque range. My snap on torque wrench has a spin dial that can be set within a couple of seconds and is very accurate. No errors, nor over torqing. But to each is own, I say.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    Hey I watched the video again, and it looked like an old Smokey and the Bandit movie scene.
